theme_novar_tern: Blank one variable's annotations in ternary plot

In ggtern: An Extension to 'ggplot2', for the Creation of Ternary Diagrams

Blank one variable's annotations in ternary plot

Description

This function blanks the grid and axis elements for one variable in a ternary plot.

Usage

theme_novar_tern(species, ...)

Arguments

species	A character giving the species. Choices are "T", "L" and "R", but is not case sensitive
...	Further arguments, including additional selections otherwise used in species

Details

This function takes a user-specified character corresponding to one of the three ternary variables, and constructs a theme function which adds blank elements for that variable's grid elements and axis elements chosen from the ggtern package. This new function is then executed which "adds" this theme to the open ternary plot.

The logic of the species selection is pretty transparent so it may be possible to customize this function to add further affected elements as desired. However the computing on the language which drives this function has not been thoroughly tested. Neither has this function been tested with non-ternary plots available in the ggplot2 framework.

Value

This function is called for the side effect of adding a theme which actually blanks the grid and axis elements for the chosen ternary species.
